Ochako And Katsuki Sparring And Shoto Keeping Them Hydrated Exactlyyy (kofi Request

Shinazugawa Log by Kina

just read chapter 40 of witch hat atelier and my initial reaction was, "what the hell just happened?" but after rereading it, i think i've come to better understand qifrey's motives.

before it happens, qifrey starts to talk about how happy he is teaching the girls magic. he's at peace in his atelier, living and taking care of the four girls alongside olruggio but he still hasn't let go of what happened in his youth. in fact, the peacefulness he feels every day has made his uneasiness worse. now it isn't only just him that could be hurt. it's his precious students and olruggio that he has to lose now. there's much more at stake than there was before.

so while he begins to confess the truth, he doesn't allow olruggio to keep his memories. qifrey's trauma still haunts him even at his happiest. for some people, they would leave the horrible things in the past to enjoy the good they have in the present. but for qifrey it's an impossible thing to do. it would be so much better to have at least ONE person to confide to and have support you, but qifrey doesn't allow it. it's completely irrational and bound to create problems in the future, but it shows how far qifrey is willing to go to achieve his goal. he CHOOSES to look for answers all on his own knowing the path will be difficult.

qifrey is someone the girls look up to; we see him as a cheerful guy who is someone we can count on. but this chapter showed us that he's still that child searching for answers. it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how much wiser or stronger he has become; he can never move on from his past until he stops the brimmed caps' plan.

i wish qifrey acted in some other way or allowed himself to lean on olruggio but it adds more to his character. he's complicated; he has his own agenda, yet his love for the people in his life is undeniable. he will stop at nothing to find answers but won't endanger his loved ones to get them. this chapter was so well done, and i'm excited to see where this takes the story!

they look so beautiful 😭😭😭

INSTINCT IS SOMETHING YOU POLISH

talent is something you make bloom

i’m so emotional. izuku posing like all might, being the hero so many people look up to, class 1-A being the pro heroes now. IZUKU’S SMILE!!! KATSUKI & SHOTO SMILING TOO!!! i love when a manga ends and the last volume cover is a parallel to the first volume cover. i’m so happy. I LOVE MHA SO MUCH!!! THEY ALL BECAME HEROES TOGETHER!!!!!

ao haru ride has such a special place in my heart. kou & futaba’s development as a couple and as individuals is so beautiful. kou had been through so much and even though it was painful, he decided to walk his own path to happiness. futaba was kou’s hero. she never gave up on him even when they weren’t talking. she always wanted to support and be by his side. she’s so loving and her vulnerability is so brave. i love them so so much!!!

what is your favorite manga

has to be yona of the dawn and haikyuu!! yona of the dawn is a perfect fantasy manga with amazing characters, slowburn romance, and has my favorite found family! haikyuu is just such a great story of growth and connection through volleyball. i love them both so much!

romance as a subplot is SOOOOO GOODDDDD because 98% of the time it's an intense slowburn that develops over several chapters. the story focuses on the plot or character development more but somehow it makes the romance SO MUCH BETTER!!! idk how to explain it it's just so good...like when an author's focus is more on characters and plot it gives you as the reader a deeper connection to the characters which makes the romantic/platonic aspect so much better

i love this art of the dragons together so much. kusanagi is so talented. they all look so soft and beautiful and so comfortable with each other. i miss them so much and getting art of them together makes me so happy! i hope we get to see all of them again in the manga <3
